  WORKING CLASS HERO- John Lennon

  

   Am                           G             Am

  As soon as you're born they make you feel small

                           G          Am

  By giving you no time instead of it all

                                       G       Am

  Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

      Am           (D)      G          Am

  A working class hero is something to be

      Am           (D)      G          Am

  A working class hero is something to be

  

  They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

  They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool

  Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

  A working class hero is something to be

  A working class hero is something to be

  

  When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

  Then they expect you to pick a career

  When you can't really function you're so full of fear

  A working class hero is something to be

  A working class hero is something to be

  

  Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.

  And you think you're so clever and classless and free

  But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

  A working class hero is something to be

  A working class hero is something to be

  

  There's room at the top they are telling you still

  But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

  If you want to be like the folks on the hill

  A working class hero is something to be

  A working class hero is something to be

  

  If you want to be a hero well just follow me

  If you want to be a hero well just follow me

  

  

  STRUMMING PATTERN:

  On the Am, hit the base string (A), then strum a bit.  Then hit the open 

  D string and hammer onto the second fret, strum a bit more, and repeat ad 

  nauseum.  The D chords in paranetheses I sometimes add for 

  variety, but they don't actually exist on the album.
